Sunset and the City

The view from the parking garage after my class tonight...looking west

and looking back toward downtown

Happy Birthday Dusty!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 35th Anniversary to my mom and dad!

Too bad I don't have a copy of their wedding photo to put up; now that would be fun!

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my sister-in-law Mychele!

Photography class downtown shoot...

...or better known as "geeks with tripods"! Yesterday's class was spent walking downtown shooting photos. No real theme or objectives, just to shoot interesting stuff that was correctly exposed. Here's a sample of what I took.

Stained glass window in Union Station

Hockey game that was going on in the PanAm building

These guys were from Arizona and in town for the drum corps competition. I'm sure they had a story to tell about sitting downtown and letting 10 strangers snap photos of them.

I'm not sure how I managed this one. I left the shutter open for a long time and caught this weird reflection in my lens of the moon.

Bohrer Kids - A comparision

Took photos of Sarah's kids this morning. Group shots and individuals. Ran off about 270 shots in an hour. Bear in mind that a lot of those are just me snapping a photo to make sure everything is metered correctly. Here's what posing for photos in 4 different locations at the gardens in an hour will do to you if you're a kid. A comparison study:

A Recap

In answer to the question that people would ask after finding out the kids were going to be at the grandparents several days..."What are you going to do with yourself"

• Take car to Big O for an oil change. Not very glamorous I admit, but I did enjoy sipping my Starbucks knowing I was by myself. Especially when a mother came in with 3 year old twin boys and 2 other kids as well. Bless that woman. They gave her the fastest tire rotation I have ever seen!


• Have a leisurely evening out with Dusty


• Wander through Hobby Lobby for an hour just looking at stuff


• Meandering through the bookstore and buying books like this one. Hey a girl can dream right?

• Go to the restroom by myself

• Take photo of the MetLife blimp going over while in Carmel

  

• Pick up some groceries without being harassed for candy

• Stroll though Homegoods and find the perfect chair for my friend Jen

  

• Make a quick run though the drive-thru for a mocha and not have to buy something for someone in the back seat
  

• 

• Not pay attention to the clock all day

• Trying on clothes without a 4-year old yelling, "Mommy....I see your underwear!!"

• Enjoy the beautiful weather and snap photos of it while zipping down the Reagan parkway
